Nobrow Packing Tape

A little while back Nobrow asked me to design their new packaging tape for their online orders to be wrapped in and here is the result. Alex from Nobrow asked me to illustrate a parade of animals all reading books in just two colours. Due to popular demand the tape is being sold on their online shop for £6.50 a roll but currently only a very limited amount is available. Click HERE to purchase the tape. Each roll is 66 metres in length and 5cm wide, the pattern is 40cm long and then repeats for the remainder of the tape's length. Below is a quick rough sketch of the design. Notice how quite a lot of the animals have changed places and the Bear and Gorilla have changed drastically from the first rough to the final full colour design.Here is the full 40cm design.

Wow...so cool...Beautiful design...I want it to wrap gifts. I think my gift be very beautiful using this tape, especially a birthday present for my niece. Is this design there is only one color?Give me another design... I want it...Thanks...
